this song is about local hardcore/straight edge/pop punk/punk/etc scenes and about the people in them. there is always going to be a person(s) that are in it for the wrong reasons (think straight edge) and how they bring down the scene. "Turn around and cross the line you so casually walk between function and fashion Are you dressed to kill or dressed to impress? Don’t act like you can do better than this" basically tells them they aren't shit just cuz they dress the same and act the same. In the chorus, Four Year Strong tells them to get into the scene for what its worth, not for the label. "Roll with the punches" basically means to stick with it and they way people treat you. Overall i see this song as a piece of advice mostly. Four Year Strong obviously came out of the local scene in massachusets so they know whats up and have seen a lot of stuff involving people who fit this song perfectly. great song, one of my favorites =]
